Welcome to the University of Washington Student Health Law Organization's Web site.

The Student Health Law Organization (SHLO) is dedicated to promoting public service and awareness of important health care law and policy issues. The SHLO's primary focuses include:

1. domestic and international laws and policies that affect access to quality and affordable health care;
2. regulatory and ethical issues affecting modern health care entities and practitioners;
3. networking health law students with the legal community.

Throughout the year, the SHLO works to facilitate volunteer opportunities, speaker events, discussion groups, research projects, and social events for law students. The SHLO is supported by the UWLS' Health Law Section and is affiliated with the Washington State Society of Health Attorneys (WSSHA), the American Health Lawyers Association, and Uplift International.
